The living conditions in the hospital were not very good. This five-story staff accommodation building was old, and the exterior of the entire building looked very old. The walls of the dormitory were even covered in white ash. Everywhere was white and black, as if they had gotten psoriatic. It was not that the hospital leaders did not care about the employees, but with the implementation of the joint treatment policy, the number of inpatients increased day by day. The hospital leaders naturally made solving the bed problem a top priority. They used all the limited funds to build the inpatient building, increase the number of departments, and increase the medical equipment. They did not have the time and ability to care about the accommodation of the employees. Besides, most of the people who could live in this staff building were single dogs with no family background or background. They were also insignificant people in the hospital. Even if they were 10,000 unhappy, it would not cause any trouble. Actually, it was not a big deal that the environment was bad. More importantly, a dormitory was less than 20 square meters, but it actually had to accommodate four single beds. Everyone's personal space was pitifully small. When I first came to the hospital, I also stayed in the dormitory for a while. Later, when my mother had a physical examination, she was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I was worried about her staying alone in my hometown, so I brought her to the city, checked out of the hospital dormitory, and rented a place with my mother in the current community. Now that I was homeless and had returned to the dormitory, I naturally didn't have the bed I used to have. I could only shamelessly squeeze into a bed with Xiao Zhang from the department.
Almost all of my colleagues in the hospital knew that I was married to Gu Cheng. In their eyes, I was a rich lady who couldn't even live in a high-class villa. I actually ran back to such a dilapidated place to sleep with someone else. Although they were puzzled, no one directly asked me why. In order not to let everyone suspect me, I smiled and lied to my roommates that my husband was on a business trip. I was too lonely at home alone and wanted to live a group life with everyone. My roommates actually believed it and welcomed me back.
Xiao Zhang was working the night shift tonight, so I could sleep in her bed. The last few times I didn't want to go home, I squeezed into the same bed as Xiao Zhang. Because the single bed was too small, the two of us didn't sleep well at night. The next day, the two of us yawned repeatedly and didn't have any energy at all. It just so happens that Little Zhang is on duty tonight, so I can finally have a good sleep.
Although the other three girls in the dormitory were not colleagues in the same department as me, I had a good relationship with them. The winter weather was cold. After dark, everyone returned to the dormitory. After washing up, they sat on the bed and started chatting. I was the oldest of the four of us, so the three little girls had many questions to ask me. They were interested in life, work, and even how to hook a rich husband. I didn't mind them having so many questions to ask. I answered their questions one by one like a puzzle-solving teacher. However, when it came to choosing a spouse, I specially warned them to be of equal social status and not to ruin their youth for money. The three little girls were puzzled and asked for the reason. I could only smile and say that you will understand in the future.
The four of us chatted enthusiastically until it was already twelve o'clock. Under my urging, the three girls went to sleep. I lay on Xiao Zhang's hard bed, tossing and turning, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. Hearing the snoring of the three little girls, I couldn't fall asleep even more. In the end, I sat up, put on my coat, and turned on the energy-saving lamp by the bed to read a novel. I was completely fascinated by the plot of the novel. I laughed at the joy of the protagonists, but I couldn't help but cry at their sadness. Time passed by as I flipped through the pages of the book. It was only at four in the morning that I finally closed my eyes. I turned off the light and lay down, falling asleep.
It was March, and the peach blossoms on the campus were in full bloom. Beautiful butterflies shuttled among them, as beautiful as an ink painting. I was wearing a large school uniform as I passed by the peach tree. I was deeply attracted by these flying butterflies. I wanted to reach out to catch a butterfly, but I didn't expect to fall to the ground with a sharp pain in my ankle. I held back my tears and wanted to stand up, but I didn't have any strength in my legs. Just as I was in pain and helplessness, a handsome boy walked up to me and smiled."What's wrong with you?"
I cried,"My foot is crooked. It hurts!"”
"I'll send you to the infirmary!" He carried me on his back and strode towards the infirmary.
This was the first time I had such close contact with a boy. My little face was flushed red. Looking at the boy's handsome face, I actually felt that my feet didn't hurt anymore…
"I have a pair of invisible wings, take me flying!”I was awakened from my dream by the ringtone of the phone. Seeing that it was Yanzi, I answered the phone and said angrily,"Why are you calling so early?”
Yanzi sensed that my tone was off and said carefully,""What's wrong? Still asleep? Or did I disturb your beautiful dream?"
"Of course it's because you disturbed my beautiful dream!”
"Are you having a wet dream? Tell me, did you dream of Gu Cheng?”
"Go to hell. All you know is Gu Cheng! Do I have to report all my dreams to you? Who the hell are you? The head of the country, even if he was the head of the country, he had no right to ask about other people's private affairs!”When I heard Yanzi mention Gu Cheng again, I pretended to be angry and scolded her over the phone.
"You're so petty. Are you angry? It's fine if I don't say it. With your infatuation, there won't be another man in your dreams!”
I shook my head and smiled. Although Yanzi understood me, she was completely wrong this time. Gu Cheng was not the only man in my life. The person I thought I had forgotten was still clearly in my mind.
"Tell me, why are you calling? I still have to go to work!"
"I just got off the plane. I want you to have dinner with me as a welcome dinner. Since you have to go to work, you can go ahead and get busy.”
"Alright, see you tonight! Bye bye!" I hung up the phone and saw that it was already 7:40. The three little girls had already washed up and disappeared. I hurriedly put on my clothes and tied my hair into a ponytail. I washed my face and brushed my teeth quickly before rushing out of the dormitory.
The department director and head nurse were leading all the medical staff in the department to make a ward round. I sneaked into the changing room and quickly changed into my work clothes. I quietly followed behind the large team and lowered my head, not daring to look at the head nurse's ashen face. After entering a few wards, I followed behind them silently. When we finally reached the ward that I was in charge of, I braced myself and stood in front of the chief nurse to introduce the patient's nursing situation to everyone. After listening to my report, the Head Guard suddenly said sternly,"Ye Qiu, have you prepared the skin of patient #13?”
"Alright!" I said timidly.
The Head Protector glanced at me and didn't say anything, but I could see from her eyes that I was about to face a disaster.
Finally, the ward round was over. I was about to go to the treatment room to prescribe medicine when I was stopped by the head nurse."Ye Qiu, come here for a moment!" I lowered my head and walked into the office of the Head Guard. The Head Guard's face was livid as he sat on the chair opposite me, watching a storm coming.
"Ye Qiu, what happened to you these past two days? Yesterday, the patient's skin was not prepared, and today, she was late again! Look at you, your hair is as messy as a chicken nest, and you haven't even put on makeup. Are you trying to throw away all the people from the Orthopedics Department?”The head guard glared at me and sternly scolded.
I lowered my head and didn't dare to make a sound. I forgot to wear my contact lenses yesterday, so I couldn't see clearly. The patient who was going to have a total hip replacement surgery had a lot of hair, which was why there was such a big mess. I blame the chief protector for reprimanding me, but I blame myself for being too careless.
"Why aren't you saying anything? In your current state, something big will happen sooner or later!”The head guard saw that I lowered my head and didn't say anything. He walked in front of me angrily and shouted at my face.
I slowly raised my head and said sincerely,"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future, don't worry!”
The chief protector sat back in his chair, feeling disappointed. I was a nurse that she had personally trained. When she was free, she always liked to show off how capable I was in front of the other head nurses in the hospital and that I was the successor to her career. However, my performance in the past two days had simply disappointed her. However, no matter how disappointed I was, I was still her favorite subordinate. In order to prevent me from making such low-level mistakes in the future and truly become her successor, the chief protector gently heaved a sigh of relief and said sincerely,"Ye Qiu, in our line of work, we have to be cautious and careful. Otherwise, lives will be lost. You're a nurse that I brought up myself. I hope you can make a name for yourself in the future!”
"Guard, I know!" I suddenly felt like crying. I didn't expect the Head Protector to be so strict with me. It turned out that it was all for my own good. Such a good leader really touched me.
"It's good that you know. Go and do your work!" The Head Guard patted my shoulder and smiled in satisfaction.
I held back the tears in my eyes and left the office to start my busy day. In order to not let down the guardian's good intentions, I didn't dare to think about anything else, including last night's dream, because some private matters affected my work. Even the most annoying nursing procedures like urethralgia and clyster were done happily and seriously today. Time always passed very quickly when I was busy. When I was about to get off work, I checked on my patient again. After making sure that the patient was safe and sound, I went to the changing room to change into my nurse's uniform. As soon as I put on my clothes, Yanzi called to urge me to go over and have dinner with her. In order not to let Yanzi wait for too long, I put on my coat and rushed out of the hospital gate. I stopped a taxi and went straight to the restaurant that Yanzi mentioned.
I saw Yanzi waving at me from afar. I secretly laughed that this guy was the reincarnation of Sun Wukong. He actually saw me from so far away.
Yanzi flew over and held my hand."It's pretty fast today!"
"How dare I not be happy when you summon me?”I smiled and cowered at Yanzi.
Yanzi rolled her eyes at me. The two of us smiled at each other and walked into the western restaurant by the roadside hand in hand. The interior was luxuriously decorated, and there weren't many guests. Melodious English songs were playing, and it felt elegant and romantic. We found an empty table and sat down. Yanzi asked me to order, so I didn't refuse. I decided to make Yanzi pay for her actions a few days ago. After ordering, Yanzi opened her mouth wide and exclaimed,"What's wrong? Are you going to rip me off today?”
I took a sip of the coffee the waiter served and said calmly,"Who asked you to value your lover over your friends!"
"So that's how it is!" Yanzi giggled. Then I'm willing to let you slaughter me, haha!"
I also laughed out loud. I felt that I was a little too ruthless. This table of dishes probably cost at least 700 to 800 yuan.
"By the way, Qiuqiu, tell me what kind of sweet dream you had last night.”Yanzi drank her coffee and smiled innocently.
"You really want me to report to you!”I glared at Yanzi. So many years had passed, but this girl was still someone who would ask questions to the end. I couldn't hide anything from her.
"I'm just concerned about your life. At the same time, I'll explain to you what your dream means!”Yanzi looked at me anxiously, wanting to know what happened in the dream.
I took a sip of coffee and said with a red face,"I dreamed of Lu Kai!"
"Lu Kai? Is it the boy who came to our class to study in Year One? He only went to school with us for two years. Before the college entrance examination, he followed his father back to the city's high school to take the exam.”Yanzi looked at me excitedly as her saliva flew everywhere.
I rubbed my hands in embarrassment, not knowing how to express my relationship with Lu Kai. In fact, the scene in the dream was once real. That was our first meeting. The next day, the teacher brought him to our class. After that, we actually became deskmates. He often helped me solve math and physics problems that I didn't know. We got along very well. When we were about to graduate, he returned to the city with my father and we lost contact. However, I often dreamed of him. Perhaps at that time, I had already regarded Lu Kai as the most important person in my life. I imagined that if I met him again, I would boldly confess to him. Unfortunately, I never heard anything about him again. As time passed, the deep feelings that used to be there slowly faded away. Later, when I graduated from university and went to work in the hospital, I met Gu Cheng. That beautiful dream that I often had never happened again. I felt that Lu Kai had already left my life and would never appear in my mind again. However, after more than a year, I actually dreamed of him again. Could it be that this dream foretold that we were fated to meet again?
Yanzi pushed me and smiled." Your face is as red as a monkey's butt. You're still shy at this age. If you can't forget him, take the initiative to chase him!"”
"Who says I can't forget him? It was just a dream!" I felt awkward as if someone had seen through my thoughts, but I kept it up and refused to admit it.
Yanzi laughed out loud." Stop lying to yourself. You'd better go look for him. I saw him once last month. He's teaching at Municipal No.1 Middle School. He seems to be single. You have a chance!"”
"Go to hell. Do you think I need to pursue her with my conditions?”I glared at Yanzi unhappily. Even if I really liked Lu Kai, I wouldn't confess to him. I'm a good girl who's more reserved.
"My Qiuqiu is so confident. Don't forget that you're a divorcee. Lu Kai is a virgin!”Yanzi laughed.
I was shocked by Yanzi's words, and my heart ached. What conditions do I have? What right does a woman who has been abandoned by her husband have to be arrogant? What ability does she have to be reserved?
Yanzi saw my disappointed expression and stuck out her tongue. She hurriedly apologized,"Qiuqiu, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Please don't take it to heart!”
I forced a smile.”
As we spoke, the dishes were served one by one. Yanzi and I picked up our knives and forks and worked hard. I chewed on the steak in my mouth, and the scene of meeting Lu Kai appeared in my mind again. If this dream really foreshadowed something, then I definitely wouldn't miss it again!
